Bilawal Bhutto urges opposition to prioritise national Issues

LAHORE: Pakistan People’s Party (PPP) Chairman Bilawal Bhutto urged the opposition to get united and prioritise national issues over political interests, ARY News reported.

Speaking at a recent event, Bilawal emphasised the need for unity among political stakeholders to tackle challenges ranging from economic hardships to security threats.

Bilawal Bhutto urged the opposition to set aside political interests and focus on addressing the pressing national issues facing Pakistan.

Highlighting the nation’s struggles with poverty, unemployment, and political division, the PPP chairman expressed concerns over the rise of hate-driven politics. He stressed that a collective effort is essential to overcome these challenges and ensure the country’s stability.

Bilawal Bhutto lamented the growing division in politics, which, he said, has made building consensus on critical national issues increasingly difficult.

The former foreign minister urged the opposition to focus on the welfare of the people and emphasised the importance of leadership that wins hearts rather than imposes authority.

He also pointed to the revival of global conspiracies against Pakistan, urging political parties to stand firm and address the ongoing security concerns exacerbated by terrorism.

Calling on political parties to abandon narrow-minded politics, he urged for working collectively for the betterment of the nation.
